BRUSSELS ─ Flight Safety Foundation today launched a new advisory
committee to address safety considerations in unmanned autonomous and
semi-autonomous flight operations and to serve as a forum to inform
international safety policy and practices.
The Autonomous and Remotely Piloted Aviation Systems (ARPAS) Advisory
Committee (AC) will be an industry-government collaborative effort. The
committee’s launch was announced today in conjunction with the Foundation’s
73rd annual International Air Safety Summit.
“Autonomous and semi-autonomous technology is evolving rapidly and
it is critical that we work together to understand what is required to
safely enable diverse uses of these new kinds of passenger and cargo
operations and to safely integrate them into the airspace,” said Dr. Hassan
Shahidi, president and CEO of the Foundation. “The Foundation will be
developing consensus-based safety recommendations and policies, developing
and sharing best practices, fostering global safety information sharing,
and serving as a bridge between the traditional and unmanned aviation
communities,” he said. “The ARPAS advisory committee will lead this
effort.”
The ARPAS AC will be comprised of individuals from the Foundation’s
member and strategic partner organizations. Committee membership will
include unmanned aircraft systems operators, new advanced air mobility
providers, manufacturers, researchers, and non-governmental organizations,
as well as stakeholders from the broader aviation community, including
commercial and general aviation operators, airports and regulators. The new
advisory committee will be exploring ways to accelerate the safe use and
integration of unmanned operations. One of the first use cases will be
supporting humanitarian missions.
